513b6bee01 DM9000: Update retry count whilst identifying chip
Reading the ID register does not always return the correct ID
from the device, so we retry several times to see if we get
a correct value.

These failures seem to be excaserbated by the speed of the
access to the chip (possibly time between issuing the address
and then the data cycle).

86c62fab5a DM9000: Remove barely used SROM array read.
The srom array in the board data is only being used in the device probe
routines. The probe also only uses the first 6 bytes of an array
we spend 512ms reading 128 bytes from. Change to reading the

As a side product, we rename the read_srom_word to dm9000_read_eeprom
to bring it into line with the rest of the driver. No change is made
to the delay in this function, which will be dealt with in a later
patch.

89c8b0e6cd DM9000: Do not sleep with spinlock and IRQs held
The phy read and write routines call udelay() with the board
lock held, and with the posibility of IRQs being disabled. Since
these delays can be up to 500usec, and are only required as we
have to save the chip's address register.

To improve the behaviour, hold the lock whilst we are writing
and then restore the state before the delay and then repeat
the process once the delay has happened.

currently broken with the new EEPROM code that now
uses mutexes to protect the phy access.

This will need to be replaced in the future by some

The replacement has not been done here as changing
this patch, which is early in the sequence has quite

a new presentation of an patch to poll the MII link

1a5f1c4ff8 DM9000: Pass IRQ flags via platform resources
Use the flags in the IRQ resource to specify the type of
IRQ being requested, so that systems which do not have
level-based interrupts, or change the interrupt in some
other way can specify this without making an #ifdef mess
in the driver.

This is specifically designed to undo the change in commit
4e4fc05a2b which hardwires the
type for everyone but blackfin to IRQT_RISING, which breaks
all a number of Simtec boards which use (and setup in the
bootloader) active low IRQs.

Note, although there where originally objections due to
the use of IORESOURCE_IRQ and IRQT_ flags not sharing the
same definition, at least <include/linux/interrupt.h> notes
these are the same.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

9480e307cd [PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level.  Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level.  However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.

Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it.  Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.
